You won’t find many estates in Burgundy quite as meticulous as this domaine. The family pride themselves on vineyards throughout Burgundy, all of them certified organic from the outset and now over half are managed biodynamically. Put simply, this approach takes organic farming to the next level and encourages biodiversity in the vineyard to help strengthen the vines. This results in a purer expression of each terroir and superb quality wine in your glass. This glorious vintage Côte de Beaune uses grapes from a fine vineyard next door to Savigny Lès Beane and Beaune 1er Cru, Les Bressandes. Ageing in a third new oak barrels for a year lends even more layers of complexity and depth to this fine red. A real gem, open early, or cellar.
